Great Master Yu Is Poisoned, Tang San's Hesitation!
"Holy crap, Great Master Yu used a fart to blow the Soul Devouring Charm Snake into the air!" Dai Mubai said in astonishment.
Seeing such a good opportunity, everyone hurriedly charged forward.
However, the Soul Devouring Charm Snake released its bite at that moment, and its entire body flew away like a deflating balloon.
"Whoosh."
Even though Dai Mubai and the others were upwind in the distance, they still faintly smelled a pungent stench and nearly vomited.
"Hiss... Ugh."
In the distance, the Soul Devouring Charm Snake that had been blown away was also convulsing, letting out a dry retch.
Shen He gave Great Master Yu a thumbs-up. "That was incredible, Master. The Soul Devouring Charm Snake has such high poison resistance, yet one of your farts made it vomit."
"Hiss!"
A sharp hiss tore through the air. The Soul Devouring Charm Snake, which had been sent flying by Luo Sanpao's "earth-shaking" fart, was miraculously completely unharmed.
The moment it landed, it sprang forward like it had a spring installed in it. Its speed was astonishing as it charged straight toward Great Master Yu and Tang San.
"Fart like smoke, send Luo Sanpao into hypnotic sleep!"
Great Master Yu refused to be outdone and unleashed another special technique.
Luo Sanpao spun in midair. With a puff, yellow gas sprayed from behind its round rump and instantly spread throughout the surrounding area.
But just as Shen He had said, the Soul Devouring Charm Snake's poison resistance was already maxed out. It was completely immune to Luo Sanpao's "hypnotic fart," though the stench slowed it down slightly.
"Sanpao, stop it!"
Great Master Yu shouted urgently. Luo Sanpao bravely charged forward with its round body, trying to block the Soul Devouring Charm Snake.
But the creature was not only as fast as lightning, it was also extraordinarily agile. With a slight twist, it avoided Luo Sanpao and instead left a bite mark on its body.
"Roro!"
Luo Sanpao cried out in pain, transformed into a streak of purple light, and fled back into Great Master Yu's body.
Just as Great Master Yu was overcome with despair and could almost feel the coldness of the Soul Devouring Charm Snake's fangs, Tang San suddenly made his move.
He brushed a hand across his waist, then flung it forward. A sky full of gleaming silver Hidden Weapons shot out and struck the Soul Devouring Charm Snake with precision, making it pause briefly and widening the distance.
Tang San's prediction was truly superb. He had stopped the Soul Devouring Charm Snake at the critical moment.
"Let's hurry and help!" Xiao Wu said.
Tang San suddenly waved his hand. "There's no need for you to help. I'll make this snake learn how formidable I, Tang San, am!"
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun wore puzzled expressions, unable to understand why Tang San had suddenly lost his mind at such a critical moment.
Shen He, however, merely shook his head with a smile and waved his hand. "All right, then. Since that's the case, we'll watch Tang San put on a performance for us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San swept out his left hand.
Tang San suddenly raised his head. The purple light in his eyes abruptly intensified, and his lowered hands rose alongside his waist.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
More than a dozen flashes of cold light burst from Tang San's ten fingers. The ear-piercing sound of them tearing through the air startled everyone.
The Soul Devouring Charm Snake, however, neither dodged nor evaded. It took the Hidden Weapons head-on with its body, and it seemed not to have suffered much damage. It had merely slowed down a little.
Tang San was secretly shocked. The ten projectiles he had fired were Bone-Piercing Nails, which were relatively heavy among small Hidden Weapons.
Combined with the force of his Soul Power and the Bone-Piercing Nails' penetrating properties, they had still failed to inflict the slightest injury on the Soul Devouring Charm Snake. This showed just how formidable its defenses were.
But there was no time to think further. Tang San spun around and flung out more than ten flashes of cold light.
His hands moved before him like butterflies flitting through flowers, sometimes flicking and sometimes flinging. One streak of cold light after another continuously shot from his hands.
Willow Saber, Flying Locust Stones, Money Darts, Bone-Piercing Nails—various Hidden Weapons blossomed through Tang San's technique of a sky full of flowers. Some flew straight, some diagonally, and some curved around behind, but they ultimately had only one target: the Soul Devouring Charm Snake's vital point seven inches behind its head.
The Soul Devouring Charm Snake moved just as quickly. It swiftly dodged the Hidden Weapons, and its speed increased rather than decreased.
Tang San flicked his robe sleeve. A black shadow silently shot out. It was a Tang Sect Hidden Weapon—the Sleeve Arrow!
Under the Purple Demon Eye, none of the Soul Devouring Charm Snake's movements could escape his notice.
However, the Soul Devouring Charm Snake's reaction exceeded all expectations. Its body twisted nimbly in midair, and it lowered its head, avoiding its vital point.
But the Sleeve Arrow was too fast and still pierced its body.
This completely enraged the Soul Devouring Charm Snake. Purple light shimmered across its scales, and its speed surged. In an instant, it pounced toward the defenseless Great Master Yu in the distance.
Great Master Yu let out a scream, then collapsed unconscious.
Seeing his teacher grievously injured and unconscious, Tang San also lost his composure and had no idea what to do.
At that moment, Xiao Wu, who was nearby, called out softly, "Charm!"
The Soul Devouring Charm Snake's body jolted. Its eyes suddenly filled with a dense pink glow, and it froze in place.
Shen He stamped both feet against the ground and moved like Gui Mei. He snatched up the Sleeve Arrow that had fallen to the ground earlier and thrust it toward the Soul Devouring Charm Snake.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
After a rapid series of tongue flicks, the Soul Devouring Charm Snake writhed in pain. Shen He's strike had pinned it directly to the ground, leaving it completely unable to move.
"Teacher, are you all right?" Tang San hurried to Great Master Yu's side and asked with concern.
Great Master Yu's face was pitch-black, his breathing weak, and his entire body looked somewhat rigid. He had already fallen unconscious.
The blood flowing from his wound had also turned black, accompanied by a pungent, fishy odor. It was clear how fierce the poison was.
Anxiety surged through Tang San like a tide. What should I do? What am I supposed to do?
Shen He glanced at the wound that was still continuously spilling black blood, coughed lightly, and then said solemnly, "Tang San, you should know that after someone is bitten by a snake, the venom must be sucked out immediately."
"All of us are outsiders, so it wouldn't be convenient for us to do that. You should help Great Master Yu suck out the venom!"
"What? What did you say?!" Tang San asked in astonishment. "I'm supposed to suck the venom out for my teacher?"
Shen He spoke to Tang San with a stern expression. "In an emergency, one must resort to extraordinary measures. Great Master Yu is your teacher. Once a teacher, always a father. Can you bear to watch Great Master Yu be poisoned to death like this?"
"You're saving him out of filial piety. No one will think you've done anything wrong, and certainly no one will mock you for it."
"Besides, all of this happened because you insisted on showing off. If it weren't for you, would this have happened while everyone was dealing with the Soul Devouring Charm Snake together?"
"If you don't save him today and earn a reputation for being unfilial, how will you face yourself, or your fellow students?"
